Mute ‘disabled’ cannot silence the alarm until gas reading returns within the pre-set limits. If alarm configuration allows muting of audible alarm, the following applies (see “Table 2.1 PS500 Alarms” on page 2-12): • Non-latching: Once alarm has been muted, the audible...
ALARMS 3.3 HIGH FLAMMABLE GAS OVER-RANGE ALARM Caution: Exposing the LEL sensor to flammable gas above 100% LEL can damage the sensor. If the LEL gas reading exceeds 120% LEL, the displayed value will change to four rising arrows, the tone of the audible alarm will change, and the visual alarm will flash quickly.
Página 37
USER HANDBOOK The instrument must be returned to a gas free area. The instrument must now be switched off. Note: The off cycle is increased to 10 seconds. A countdown timer, from 10 seconds to zero, will appear on the display together with the message ‘HIGH GAS’ alternating with ‘GET OUT’, as shown below: then and so on, until zero is reached.
ALARMS 3.4 FAULT ALARMS Refer to “Table 2.1 PS500 Alarms” on page 2-12, to identify the audible / visual indication for the following faults. 3.4.1 Low Battery The “LOW BATTERY” message is displayed, intermittently on the screen, when the instrument’s battery has approximately 30 minutes operating time remaining.
Página 39
USER HANDBOOK Alternating with Fig. 3.5 Zero Fault Note: The flashing spanner symbol will only alternate with the faulty sensor reading in the LEL range. If this occurs, the instructions in “3.4.4 Sensor Fault” on page 3-10, paragraphs (1) and (2), should be followed.
ALARMS 3.4.3 Zero Fault - Only applicable to instruments with CO2 sensor fitted If a CO2 range spanner symbol appears after warm- up, as illustrated in Fig. 3.6, together with the audible alarm sounding every two seconds and the Red LED’s flashing, the instrument has been unable to zero the CO2 sensor correctly.
USER HANDBOOK Alternating with Fig. 3.7 CO2 Sensor - Zero Fault 3.4.4 Sensor Fault There are three types of sensor fault: If a “ZERO FAULT” message and a flashing spanner symbol appear, alternating with an LEL gas value as shown in Fig. 3.8, leave instrument on for 30 to 60 minutes in clean air, monitoring the reading, then switch instrument Off and On again.
Página 42
ALARMS Fig. 3.8 Check Fault If a “ZERO FAULT” message and a flashing spanner symbol appear, alternating with a zero LEL reading as shown in Fig. 3.9, apply test gas to allow the display to show a reading, then switch instrument Off and On again. Alternating with Fig.
USER HANDBOOK If a “ZERO FAULT” message and a spanner symbol (not flashing) appears above gas type, as shown in Fig. 3.10, then the sensor requires replacement or an electrical fault exists. Fig. 3.10 Sensor Fault Note: If the faults remain, return the instrument to an approved Service / Repair facility.
ALARMS 3.4.6 Low Flow - Only applicable to pumped instruments supplied with this option. Note: Feature is automatically disabled if air temperature is below 5 C (41 If a “LOW FLOW” message flashes in the display and an audible alarm and Red LED’s are activated, then a low flow exists.
USER HANDBOOK 3.4.8 Service Required During warm-up, if the “SERVICE REQUIRED” message is displayed and an audible alarm and Red LED’s are activated, the instrument has detected an internal fault. Fig. 3-14 Service Required The instrument must be switched off. Follow appropriate action required by your company for service.

PID SENSORS A PID sensor measures volatile organic compounds (VOC’s) in the atmosphere by Photo Ionisation Detection. The PS500 instrument uses PID sensor technology to detect VOC’s. What is a Volatile Organic Compound (VOC)? A VOC, is a chemical compound that is significantly vaporised at ambient temperatures.

PID response of a particular VOC, to the PID response of a calibration gas. The calibration gas used on PS500 instruments is usually isobutylene. If the response of a PID to a particular VOC is eight times smaller than it is for the same concentration of isobutylene, then the response factor would be 8.
